What I do know is this: the part of the year that I plan and enforce (and which usually includes mathish stuff) is over. We're ready for a break from school year routines, ready to relax into the stuff of summer. So far, it's looking as if our lazy-hazy-crazy days will include:

Vacation Bible School (with two daughters volunteering, and one participating)SoftballSwimmingHorseback ridingJust hanging outLots of good books, both read-alouds and individual readingPlenty of ice cream4-H and the county fairRunning through sprinklers (that's usually Ramona, not me, but you never know)Having friends over for dinnerGardening (Atticus)Running (Atticus)Going to see Wicked (not Atticus)Catching up on all the things I neglect during the school year, such as housework. I will tackle my mudroom, which has turned into a catch-all for every kind of pile one can imagine.

Atticus was to report for jury duty today (his week off between regular school and summer school teaching) but God kindly provided, and the case was already settled, so he didn't have to go. Anne-with-an-e noted, "It's a little ironic that Atticus had to report for jury duty, isn't it?"
